The emperor left the palace this time to persuade Cang Junming.
In addition, Tianlao was not far away, so he did not bring many people with him.
But there is probably an army of people coming. If anyone plots rebellion at this time, he will definitely die!
Just when everyone was nervous, the leader stood up.
Those people turned out to be Bai Jiangan and Bai Hexuan!
"How could it be you!" The emperor's face instantly darkened. He was extremely nervous at this moment, but he had to force himself to calm down.
Although the Bai family has been loyal for generations, they have also made great contributions to Daliang.
But they have military power. If they really have the intention to rebel, there is nothing he can do now!
The emperor's face was very tense, and he pretended to be calm and said: "What are you two beauties trying to do!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Bai Jiangan and Baihexuan all saluted, "I heard that there was a fire in the prison where Qingqing was, and there were not enough manpower to put out the fire! Therefore, I have no choice but to mobilize troops to come to the rescue! After I put out the fire, I will ask for punishment on my own! "
With that said, Bai Jiangan quickly directed his men to put out the fire.
Although the emperor still had a cold face, he was really relieved at this time.
Fortunately, they were only here to put out the fire, not to rebel!
But when he saw the raging fire, the breath he had not yet finished breathing suddenly rose again.
Considering the importance of Gu Jiuqing to the Bai family and his son, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Bai family and his son to calm down after her body is removed from the fire scene!
After all, they have the power, and if they are really pursued, he must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!
With the troops brought by the Bai family and his son, the fire was naturally put out quickly.
Cang Junming and the Bai family's father and son rushed in quickly. It was dark inside and there were ruins everywhere.
Looking around, in every cell, there is almost an unrecognizable corpse curled up.
That terrifying look makes people tremble inexplicably.
The fire has been burning for so long, there is no way there is even half a living thing in it!
Everyone looked at these miserable corpses with ugly expressions.
Being burned alive is an extremely miserable way to die.
There were dark claw marks left on many walls inside.
They grabbed it with their fingers when they were in extreme pain.
After just one glance, Cang Junming withdrew his gaze.
He closed his eyes and took a breath, but he didn't dare to look any further.
Several people soon arrived at the cell where Gu Jiuqing was located. Before they even got close, they smelled the smell of burnt meat coming from inside.
And inside, there was also a charred, petite corpse with almost only a human shape left.
The body was burned by the fire, and its original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
Cang Junming suddenly felt dizzy, his body swayed, and he subconsciously held on to the wall beside him.
However, as soon as he touched the charred wall, his hand felt a stinging sensation.
However, the temperature above had not yet receded, and his palms were burned with several blisters.
Others ignored him at all. Bai Jiangan and Bai Hexuan looked solemn at this time, their eyes were scarlet, and their expressions were extremely sad.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid!" Bai Jiangan choked, "Uncle...Uncle is here to take you home..."
As he spoke, he leaned over and picked up the charred corpse.
I had obviously seen such a bright and lively girl before, such a living person, but now she has become such a tiny bit.
"Qingqing... why are you so light?" Bai Jiangan choked, "Just like when I was a child, my uncle could hold her up with one hand."
When other people at the scene saw this, they couldn't bear to look away.
This scene is so tragic.
The group of people walked out with heavy steps, and then Cang Junming staggered out like a zombie.
When they walked outside, the emperor's expression was still very ugly.
"This... I feel sorry for you." The emperor sighed, "Although Gu Jiuqing was suspected of murdering the Queen Mother, fortunately the Queen Mother is fine now. Since she has also surrendered to the law, let's put this matter to rest!"
Hearing this, the Bai family father and son all knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for Qingqing to murder the Queen Mother!" Bai Jianganyi said righteously, "Even if Qingqing is dead, I still hope that the Emperor can return her innocence! I can't let her take her with her without knowing anything. Leave the grievances behind! Her soul will be troubled!"
"Who is the mastermind behind this incident, and why are they targeting Qingqing? Who started this fire! I must find out for myself! Please give your permission!" Bai Hexuan also looked like he was ready to die.
When the emperor heard this, he said coldly: "I will hand this matter over to the Ministry of Punishment for review. Don't worry, dear!"
"Your Majesty, please allow me to investigate personally!" Bai Hexuan still looked determined, "I must personally repay justice!"
"Bai Aiqing! Don't go too far! Tonight you lead troops to break into the prison without an order, which is already a serious crime! I don't need to pursue the case because of your eagerness to save people, but you must not push yourself too far!" the emperor said coldly! .
He thought about punishing them, but he was afraid of being criticized.
After all, the Bai family father and son have just made great achievements and are now in the limelight!
Even if you want to clean it up, you have to take it slow!
"I am willing to hand over my military power! I only hope that, Your Majesty, you can give me and my son a chance to clear their names and give Jiang Ying an explanation!" Bai Jiangan said sternly, "Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you face to face in a hundred years. Jiang Ying! I’m sorry for her! I’m sorry for Qingqing!”
The temptation to take back military power is too great.
The emperor was very excited when he arrived. After all, they handed it over in person, but he didn't force it back.
Thinking of this, he shied away on the surface, and finally agreed to the request of the Bai family and his son, pretending to be helpless.
"Okay, go ahead and investigate! Prince Jin, come and help! Once the people involved in this matter are found out, we must not tolerate it!" The emperor was very satisfied with the result, and he was in an even better mood.
Afterwards, he returned to the palace.
At this time, Bai Hexuan said coldly: "Dad, look! Qingqing was not burned to death at all! She had been killed a long time ago! Look, she showed no signs of struggle at all, and she was dead like everyone else in the prison." The situation is completely different! I am afraid that someone deliberately set this fire in order to cover up their crimes! "
After Bai Hexuan's reminder, others naturally discovered the strangeness of the corpse.
That's right, this corpse is too upright, and there is no sign of struggle like other corpses.
Most of the bodies of those who died in the fire were twisted due to the painful struggle, and their expressions were also hideous and terrifying.
But Gu Jiuqing has none of these characteristics!
That must mean that she died long before the fire burned.
Thinking of this, several people looked extremely ugly.
Especially when they faced Cang Junming, they glared directly at him.
"Prince Jin, I feel that Qingqing doesn't want to see you!" Bai Jiangan said coldly, "Prince Jin, it's better not to disturb her sleep!"
"General Bai! Gu Jiuqing is my wife!" Cang Junming said coldly, "I want to take her back to deal with the funeral arrangements!"
"When the prince spoiled his concubine and killed his wife and hurt her, why didn't he say that she was your wife! Now that she is gone, why don't you let her go!" Bai Hexuan was filled with grief and anger, and he was about to fight with him before his eyes. .
Fortunately, Bai Jiangan still had sense and dissuaded Bai Hexuan in time.
"Let's wait until the official investigates Qingqing's funeral! Please take care of yourself!" Bai Jiangan said coldly,
"We, the Bai family, have been loyal for generations and are willing to die in battle to protect Daliang. But now, there is no one behind us who we want to protect. If the prince insists on pestering me, I don't know what I will do! Farewell!"
After saying that, the Bai family left, leaving Cang Junming stunned in place, facing the ruins of the wall, unable to recover for a long time.
At this time, in a room somewhere, a person opened his eyes.
